Microcontrollers are the bedrock of the Internet of Things (IoT) movement. They interface with the plethora of sensors that provide information to the cloud and other IoT devices via wired and wireless links. Though they may be small and use little power, a significant amount of power is consumed when taken collectively. They’re often battery-powered or even scrounge power from other sources, such as solar power. Thus, it becomes paramount to minimize power utilization in order to reduce the overall load and increase operational time for battery-operated IoT devices...
